Dip your hand in the cool seawater and hear the gulls rhythmic cries. If you're me, you'll flap your towel to scare the buggers away from your snack. Days here are unplanned. Boats slide across our vista silently. We find blueberry bushes along the trails, and beaver lodges. The late sun bleaches the grass tips and leaks into the wooded paths. There are shops to scan, deserted cottages to spy out. Mostly, the water whirs and whistles against the rocks where we sit on towels in the sun readin…
I told Walker a month ago I wouldn't know what to do with myself once we were more settled. What would I do if I wasn't traveling in a few weeks, or anticipating the next flight on our endless roll? Right now, we have zero flights in the hopper. We've been in New York 3 weeks, and you know what? Being in one place has been calming and good and I didn't want to leave. But, here I am, surrounded by lobster, warm sand, and cold air on a brief trip to my family's summer spot. Every year growing up, …
I'm jumping to start a little home tour with you today, so let's go! The only room that's even near completion is the bathroom. It was about as hard as putting the towels and toilet paper out to decorate, but I don't let that squash my excitement. Our bathroom is s-weet.

I feel like I’m sharing with an old friend and there is far more to say than there is time. This past month we've just been so onthego. From Switzerland, we went to Paris, Scotland, Minnesota, and then drove to New York, and here we are! Let’s start with Paris. I was to…
I'm sitting awkwardly on the floor (probably ruining my hips), with the computer angled just right by the window to catch some free internet (courtesy of our savvy neighborhood). We are in New York, and there are so many thoughts pushing to get out that I don’t know what I should let out first. Let’s start with this. Because our new place has the best view in the city, right? We stood on the rooftop watching the fireworks Monday night, barely hearing them with a borough between us and them, an…
